  1. “It sounds probably quite daft, but it's just being at home in our pajamas, just relaxing together with watching something stupid on TV and eating pizza. That was the favourite food. Good times don't have to cost anything, and the best times are the times when you're just completely relaxed. And yeah, it's just thinking of her at home. Popping her head in a little fluffy pink pajamas, you gotta say can we have a domino's pizza? And yeah, it's just being at home and being with her. And because she was such a home bird. I think that's the thing it was so difficult because she was just always there, she was always at home. When I came home, she would be home. Why the house felt so empty without her, but yeah, the best memories are just the simple ones.”

  2. “Think that as a parent. That Brianna's all that I'm all that Brianna had. I was the one that was supposed to look after her. I said before about the issues that she had and the struggles that she had. It was difficult as a parent to. Go through that with her as well, and I think you can always look back and wish that you'd done things differently. Maybe if I had done things differently, this wouldn't have happened.”

  3. “I think that The focus is always on making such a lot of money and not really how we protect people or how we can necessarily benefit society. And I think that greed needs to be taken out of the picture and we need to focus a little bit more on how we can help each other. And yeah, it was such a powerful thing to see the parents or standing up to them. It's quite out of control. I heard somebody once call the internet the wild west and that's basically what it is and we've kind of got our children threw them in in the deep end of it and yeah something needs to change now and I do feel like we are potentially at a tipping point where we can make things better.”

  4. “Yeah, definitely. I think that mindfulness needs to be really, ideally. We shouldn't only have one mindfulness teacher in every school. He should be completely embedded into the school system.”

  5. “Yes, yes, so we've been campaigning with the Warrington Guardian to raise enough money to get a teacher in every school in Warrington trained in mindfulness. It's such an important thing to be taught how to take care of your mental health, how to build mental resilience and also how to be more empathetic like all of these things are skills that you can work on and that you can grow.”

  6. “Yeah, without a doubt. I think that Either one they wouldn't have been searching that in the first place and two if they did search it then the parents would knowingly be able to get them some kind of help.”

  7. “I found out after she was actually on certain social media sites on Proanorexia sites and self-harm sites which I wasn't aware of. It got to when Brianna turned around 14 it was so difficult to monitor a phone because she wanted that trust and she was very protective over her phone. If accessed these sites she wouldn't have suffered as much and like I said they carried this phone around 24-7 and it's just not Just not doable for a parent to monitor that.”

  8. “So we've set up a petition which we'd like all families and parents to back and sign. We'd like a law introduced so that a mobile phones that are only suitable for under 16s. So if you're over 16, you can have an adult phone. But then under the age of 16, you can have a children's phone, which will Kind of words that Scarlet and Eddie were searching it would then flag up on the parents' phone. There is software already available. I know that schools are already using this kind of software so that if students do type something in that's concerning, it then flags up to the teachers. I feel like it's such a simple solution and I don't understand why we haven't actually done something like this already. So when Brianna was with us, she struggled with her mental health and she was”

  9. “I think he's just a hateful person. You have shown incredible strength in this terrible ordeal that you and your family have been through. But I know now you want to turn your attention to some of the things that you would like to see change to help other families and other teenagers with the challenges of living in the 21st century. What is it that you would like to change? So, I'd like to see mobile phone companies take more responsibility. It's so difficult for parents now to safeguard their children. They carry a mobile phone in their pocket 24-7, a smartphone with the internet, with all of different social media sites, and it's just so difficult to keep on top of what they're doing.”

  10. “See her if she ever wants to speak to me. I'm here. One of the things you've been extremely careful not to do is to allow Brianna's death to be swept into what's often a very difficult conversation about how transgender people are treated. You did say though in your statement to the court that this happened partly because one of the teenagers did have a hatred for transgender people. Now the court process is complete. Do you believe that played a role? Believe that with Ade there was hate there, there was hate for trans people. But I also think that he is a hateful boy and I think that he would hate many people regardless. So, whether it was, I think it was a contributing factor.”

  11. “I would like to say that. She did want to contact me and she does want to speak, then I'm open to that. I'd like to understand more how their life was and what they went through. And I also want her to know that I don't blame her for what her child's done. And I also want her to know that I understand how difficult being a parent is in this current day and age with technology and phones and the internet and how hard it is to actually monitor what your child is on.”

  12. “No, no, no, not really. It's incredible to hear you say, though, you carry no hatred towards them, even though they took the life of your daughter. You know, they planned it, they discussed it on messaging apps, you know, that Scarlet had been on the dark web watching videos of violence and torture. And I think you've just shown then again that extraordinary compassion that people around the country have seen in the last few weeks. Scarlett's mother has thanked you for your compassion. I wonder, did you see her in court? I've seen a button we haven't come face to face but when I think of their emotions and how they're feeling it just brings back how I felt when all this happened in February because she looks completely broken really and rightly so she's going through an absolutely horrific time. Anything that you would want to say to her?”

  13. “Hard to be in the courtroom because up until now we were in a public gallery, so we couldn't really see both Scarlet and Eddie. I made a conscious effort not to look at them both. I didn't want to see the faces. I didn't want to directly look at them and see what their reactions were. I feel that the sentence that the judge gave them was right. I don't think that Scarlet will come out of prison ever. I don't think there's any chance of rehabilitation. So I think that the sentencing was correct. She was given a minimum of 22 years. Eddie Ratcliffe was given a minimum of 20 years. Do you think you would ever, can you ever imagine a time when you might forgive what they did? I don't carry any hate for either of them because hate is such a harmful emotion to the person that's holding that. Regards to forgiving them, I think that”

  14. “She was absolutely full of life. She was such a character. She was really, really outgoing. And she loved attention. She loved to be on TikTok. She loved having all of the likes that she used to receive. And she was just life and soul is a party really. Everybody knew Brianna and anybody who ever met Brianna would never forget her. You were in court then to hear the sentencing on Friday of the two teenagers who took Brianna's life. What was it like being there? It was a difficult day, and it was”
